XFL Football...Who's Going to Watch?

[militaryhorn]

I was looking over the XFL website about the league. I am interested in watching this season based on some of the rules they are utilizing. Anybody else interested? Starts next Saturday on ABC and Fox.

XFL Rules

By the way 5 former Horns are in the league.

It would have to be pretty bad for me to not give it a look. It’s football in the off season. I just hope it’s not cheesy arena-like fauxball.

 

[BevoJoe]

I AM!! It's football, and there are a lot of new rules that the XFL will debut.

 

[WorsterMan]

Co- worker trying to get me to attend the home opener... I may go.

 

[MajesticII]

Don't watch NFL anymore....I will watch the XFL .

 

[Badass]

I will watch the first weekend -- if it looks good I may go to a game. I think lower bowl tickets are like $20

WWF with pads - a novel concept. Will it evolve to semi-naked women taking out water during timeouts?

We can only hope.

The XFL influenced a lot of rule changes in the NFL the first go around. Hopefully they last longer this time.

If they just play football and not do the stupid "He Hate Me" mess and goofy stuff the XFL did the first go-round they will be fine. A lot of us have turned off the NFL and would like to see some good old American football.

 

[wadster]

Won't watch. Barely care about the NFL, so certainly not interested in some D league. Be fishing on Saturdays/Sundays.

 

[Desperado]

Yawn. Don’t care.

 

[rick mueller]

Yawn. Don’t care.

Yawning here too.

I think it’s weird that they are going with Xtreme Football League as the name, again, since the first go round was so forgettable.
If this is anything like the first rendition it will be a nothing but redundant gimmicky version of the NFL. Besides, I thought that the “extreme” marketing gimmick went out of style in the 90s

Jerrod Heard with the Renegades

Former Denton Guyer, Texas playmaker Jerrod Heard has a chance to showcase versatility with Renegades

It’s back because it’s so rad

The discussions about how to set the lines has been interesting...

 

[Horn87]

Patrick Vahe, center for the LA Wildcats, made a reception for a first down (off a deflected pass) in game vs Houston Roughnecks!

 

[ViperHorn]

The KO's and Extra Points are interesting concepts.

 

[BevoJoe]

The rules are going to take some getting used to. But so far it's interesting. Houston's up 18-17 at the half.

 

[BevoJoe]

Houston scored and added a 2 point conversion now up 26-17 3rd Qtr. There's some hard hitting going on out there.

 

[Badass]

Watching since mid 3rd Qtr ... so far I like it

 

[Badass]

LA unis are turrible tho

I like the Houston helmet logo.

 

[BevoJoe]

TD Houston. 9:55 Left in the 4th

 

[BevoJoe]

And...Houston get the 2 pt conversion. Now 37-17 4th Q

 

[Badass]

I like the Houston helmet logo.

Definitely an homage to the oilers!

 

[Badass]

Joel Klatt is good too, like listening to him teach me football

 

[Badass]

Just saw live video/audio from replay review ... very cool

 

[Horn87]

I think it's interesting that they announce the spreads before each game---as for example, Houston was favored by 6.5 in this game (sorry, don't know the O/U for you gurus)...
